There are ways to make even a very foulmouthed character sound interesting (coughhomestuckcough), but I agree, this Dante is just a flat, shallow, juvenile punk kind of character. Which is kind of a strange thing to me: I watched the walkthrough of the Heavenly Sword, that game had a rather decent writer for the dialogue.

It might be interesting if NT managed to create enough character development for NT!Dante to slowly transform into Original!Dante-like character though. Actually, that just might be something I am ready to pay for.

Backgrounds were pretty good looking, agree, but enemy designs? Not so much. For some reason, the enemies felt all alike, instead of provoking a bit of awe like the old games. (And don't let me start on the boss fights. Those were atrocious.)

And to the last comment... We were never told of what happened to Original!Vergil between the raid and DMC3 manga. Who knows, maybe in the original verse it was HIM who went through that sort of hell on earth. (It would actually make a lot of sense to me, but I am just speculating here.)
